WHEREAS, in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement and this Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall issue to the Escrow Agent 750,000 Purchaser Ordinary Shares (together with any equity securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such shares or into which such shares are exchanged or converted, the “Escrow Shares”) to be held, along with any other Escrow Property (as defined below), by the Escrow Agent in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms of Article VII of the Share Exchange Agreement and this Agreement;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Purchaser Representative has been exclusively designated to act on behalf of Purchaser to take all necessary actions and make all decisions pursuant to this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to administer the escrow under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Appointment. Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to perform the duties of their escrow agent under this Agreement. The escrow services to be rendered by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement will not begin until the Escrow Agent has received the documentation necessary to establish the Escrow Account on its books and has received the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2. Delivery of Escrow Shares. Pursuant to Section 1.3 of the Share Exchange Agreement, after the Closing, the Purchaser shall deposit stock certificates for the Escrow Shares (“Escrowed Stock Certificates”) with the Escrow Agent, with each such Escrowed Stock Certificate being issued in the name of the shareholder to be held by the Escrow Agent; provided, that the Purchaser may alternatively have the Escrow Agent and the Purchaser’s transfer agent account for the Escrow Shares in book entry form.

Section 3. Maintenance of the Escrow Shares and other Escrow Property. So long as any Escrow Shares are being held in the Escrow Account and are not disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, any dividends, distributions or other income paid on or otherwise accruing to such Escrow Shares (the foregoing, together with the Escrow Shares, and as reduced by any disbursements of such Escrow Shares or dividends, distributions or other income from the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement, the “Escrow Property”) shall be held by the Escrow Agent in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property in the Escrow Account and shall not sell, transfer, dispose of, lend or otherwise subject to a Lien any of the Escrow Property except until and to the extent that they are disbursed in accordance with Section 4. Except as the Purchaser Representative (on behalf of the Purchaser) and Seller may otherwise agree in joint written instructions executed and delivered to the Escrow Agent, no part of the Escrow Property may be withdrawn except as expressly provided in this Agreement. While the Escrow Shares are held in the Escrow Account, the Seller named on the applicable Escrowed Stock Certificate shall have the right to vote the Escrow Shares included in such Escrowed Stock Certificate.

Section 4. Delivery of the Escrow Property. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property and shall deliver the Escrow Property to either the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Purchaser (with the Purchaser Representative acting on its behalf) may assert a claim for indemnification on behalf of an Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”) by providing written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such claim to Seller and the Escrow Agent, which Claim Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the facts and circumstances which relate to the subject matter of such Indemnification Claim to the extent then known, (ii) the amount of Losses suffered by the Purchaser Indemnitee in connection with the claim to the extent known or reasonably estimable (provided, that the Purchaser Representative on behalf of Purchaser may thereafter in good faith adjust the amount of Losses with respect to the claim by providing a revised Claim Notice to Seller and the Escrow Agent (such amount, as it may be adjusted, the “Claim Amount”)) and (iii) whether the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim; provided, that the copy of any Claim Notice provided to the Escrow Agent shall be redacted for any confidential or proprietary information of the Indemnifying Party or the Purchaser Indemnitee described in clause (i).

(b) Unless Seller provides to the Purchaser Representative and the Escrow Agent a written notice objecting to such Indemnification Claim (an “Objection Notice”) (with any Objection Notice provided to the Purchaser Representative, but not the Escrow Agent, including an attachment with a description, in reasonable detail, of the facts upon which such objection is based) by 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the thirtieth (30th) day after the delivery of the Claim Notice (the date of the delivery of the Claim Notice through such time, the “Objection Period”), Seller on will be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the Losses set forth in such Claim Notice subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in Article VII of the Share Exchange Agreement and will have no further right to contest the validity of such Claim Notice, and, subject to Section 4(d), the Escrow Agent shall promptly (in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the expiration of the Objection Period (or, if during the Objection Period, Seller provides affirmative written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release such Escrow Property from the Escrow Account, promptly (in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions from Seller), disburse to the Purchaser Escrow Property from the Escrow Account in an amount equal to the Claim Amount. If Seller provides an Objection Notice during the Objection Period that disputes only a portion of the Claim Amount, subject to Section 4(d), the Escrow Agent shall promptly (in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the expiration of the Objection Period (or, if during the Objection Period, Seller provides affirmative written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release such Escrow Property from the Escrow Account, promptly (in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions from Seller), disburse to the Purchaser Escrow Property from the Escrow Account in an amount equal to the undisputed portion of the Claim Amount.

(c) If Seller timely disputes an Indemnification Claim, by providing an Objection Notice to the Purchaser Representative and the Escrow Agent during the Objection Period, the Purchaser Representative and Seller shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. If an Indemnification Claim is disputed by Seller, the Escrow Agent shall not distribute to Seller any portion of the Escrow Property with respect to the disputed portion of the Claim Amount, until receipt of (i) joint written instructions executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser Representative on behalf of Purchaser stating that the dispute has been resolved and that Purchaser Indemnitee has the right to the Claim Amount (or some portion thereof) (“Joint Instructions”) or (ii) a copy of an arbitration award issued pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Share Exchange Agreement or a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction establishing the Purchaser Indemnitee’s right to the Claim Amount (or some portion thereof) pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement (a “Binding Award”). Upon receipt of such Joint Instructions or Binding Award, the Escrow Agent shall, without further action on the part of Seller or the Purchaser Representative, promptly (in any event within five (5) Business Days) disburse to the Purchaser Escrow Property from the Escrow Account in the amount set forth in the Joint Instructions or the Binding Award (less any undisputed amounts already disbursed pursuant to Section 4(b)), as applicable.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Third Party Claim, even if the Seller has agreed that Seller is required to provide indemnification to the Purchaser Indemnitees for such Third Party Claim, except for attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses for which Seller is responsible to pay to the Purchaser Indemnitees regardless of the outcome of such Third Party Claim (“Indemnified Third Party Costs”), no payment shall be made by the Escrow Agent with respect to such Third Party Claim until such Third Party Claim has been sustained in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction or other binding legal process (including binding arbitration) or settled in whole or in part in accordance with the provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement (and if any Third Party Claim is decided or settled in part, each part that has not yet been decided or settled shall not be paid until such remaining part is decided or settled). Escrow Property from the Escrow Account in an amount equal to Indemnified Third Party Costs shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Purchaser Representative provides written notice to Seller and the Escrow Agent of such Indemnified Third Party Costs.

(e) Payments from the Escrow Account with respect to any Indemnification Claims shall first be paid with any cash or cash equivalents that are held in the Escrow Account, then with the Escrow Shares and then with any remaining property in the Escrow Account. For any Escrow Shares to be disbursed with respect to Indemnification Claims, the Escrow Shares shall be valued at the Purchaser Share Price as of the date that an Indemnification Claim is finally determined in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement and this Agreement (the “Resolution Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Resolution Date shall be (i) if no Objection Notice is delivered by Seller during the Objection Period (other than with respect to a Third Party Claim), the 31^st day after the date that the Claim Notice is delivered; (ii) if prior to the date described in clause (i) above, Seller provides affirmative written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Property for the amount set forth in the Claim Notice, the date that the Escrow Agent receives such written instructions; (iii) if Seller provides an Objection Notice during the Objection Period that disputes only a portion of the Claim Amount (other than with respect to a Third Party Claim), with respect to the undisputed portion of such Claim Amount, the date that the Escrow Agent receives such Objection Notice; (iv) with respect to any disputed Claim Amount, either the date that the Escrow Agent receives Joint Instructions or a Binding Award; or (v) with respect to any Third Party Claim, that date that such Third Party Claim has been sustained in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction or other binding legal process (including binding arbitration) or settled in whole or in part in accordance with the provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement (and if any Third Party Claim is decided or settled in part, the Resolution Date with respect to each part that has not yet been decided or settled shall be the date that such remaining part is decided or settled); provided, that with respect to Indemnified Third Party Costs, the Resolution Date shall be the date that the Purchaser Representative notifies Seller and the Escrow Agent in writing of the amount of such Indemnified Third Party Costs.

(f) With respect to any Indemnification Claims made in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement and this Agreement on or prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing (the “Expiration Date”) that remain unresolved at the time of the Expiration Date (“Pending Claims”), all or a portion of the Escrow Property reasonably necessary to satisfy such Pending Claims (as determined based on the Claim Amount included in the Claim Notice (as it may adjusted) provided by the Purchaser Representative and the Purchaser Share Price as of the Expiration Date), shall remain in the Escrow Account until such time as such Pending Claim shall have been finally resolved pursuant to the provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement and this Agreement. After the Expiration Date, any Escrow Property remaining in the Escrow Account that is not subject to Pending Claims, if any, and not subject to resolved but unpaid claims in favor of an Indemnified Party, shall be transferred by the Escrow Agent to Seller upon receipt of joint written instructions from the Purchaser Representative and Seller. Promptly after the final resolution of all Pending Claims and payment of all indemnification obligations in connection therewith, the Escrow Agent shall transfer any Indemnity Escrow Property remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account to Seller.

(g) Any amount of Escrow Property required to be transferred to any Person pursuant to this Section 4 shall be transferred by the Escrow Agent pursuant to such delivery instructions as provided by the Purchaser Representative with respect to Purchaser or Seller. The Escrow Agent shall rely exclusively on instructions provided by Seller and the Purchaser Representative on behalf of Purchaser as to the amount and recipient of any distribution of Escrow Property pursuant to this Section 4, or the relevant order of any court of competent jurisdiction or other award granted pursuant to other binding legal process (including any binding arbitration). The Escrow Agent has no duty or responsibility to calculate any distribution or to confirm the accuracy of any distribution amount so instructed.

Section 5. Tax Matters. Purchaser, the Purchaser Representative and Seller agree and acknowledge that, for all U.S. and foreign tax purposes, except as required by applicable Law, the Purchaser shall be the owner of the Escrow Property while held in the Escrow Account and until released to Seller, and all interest, earnings or income, if any, earned with respect to the Escrow Property while held by the Escrow Agent shall be treated as earned by the Purchaser until released to Seller. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to deduct and withhold taxes from any payments to be made hereunder if such withholding is required by law and to request and receive any necessary tax forms, including Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, or any similar information, from the applicable recipient of the Escrow Property.

Section 6. Duties. The Escrow Agent’s duties are entirely ministerial and not discretionary, and the Escrow Agent will be under no duty or obligation to do or to omit the doing of any action with respect to the Escrow Property, except to give notice, provide monthly reports, make disbursements, keep an accurate record of all transactions with respect to the Escrow Property, hold the Escrow Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to comply with any other duties expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not have any interest in the Escrow Property but shall serve as escrow holder only and have only possession thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to create any obligation or liability whatsoever on the part of the Escrow Agent to anyone other than the parties to this Agreement. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

Section 7. Determination of Purchaser Share Price. In the event that the Escrow Agent has any question as to the applicable Purchaser Share Price, Seller and the Purchaser Representative shall cooperate to promptly provide the Escrow Agent with their good faith determination of the applicable Purchaser Share Price pursuant to Joint Instructions or a Binding Award (and in the event of any dispute as to the Purchaser Share Price, the Escrow Agent shall not disburse the applicable Escrow Property until such dispute has been resolved).

Section 8. Monthly Reports Upon Request. The Escrow Agent shall provide monthly account statements to the Purchaser Representative and Seller with respect to the Escrow Account. The Purchaser Representative and Seller have one hundred twenty (120) days to object in writing to such reports. If no written notice detailing a party’s objections has been received by the Escrow Agent within this period, an acceptance of such reports shall be deemed to have occurred.

Section 9. Authorized Parties; Reliance. The parties hereby acknowledge that the Purchaser Representative has the sole and exclusive authorization to act on behalf of Purchaser under this Agreement. The Purchaser Representative on behalf of Purchaser and Seller agree to provide, on Exhibit A (as it may be amended from time to time) to this Agreement, the names and specimen signatures of those persons who are authorized to issue notices and instructions to the Escrow Agent and execute required documents under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent is entitled to rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, the instructions and notices from any one of the authorized signers, as identified on the attached Exhibit A (as it may be amended from time to time) to this Agreement, from each of the Purchaser Representative (on behalf of Purchaser) and Seller, either acting alone, until such time as their authority is revoked in writing, or until successors have been appointed and identified by notice in the manner described in Section 15 below.

Section 10. Good Faith. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement and may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

Section 11. Right to Resign. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving such notice in writing of such resignation specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which shall be a date not less than sixty (60) days after the date of the notice of such resignation. Similarly, the Escrow Agent may be removed and replaced following the giving of thirty (30) days’ notice to the Escrow Agent by all of the other parties hereto. In either event, the Purchaser Representative and Seller shall agree upon a successor Escrow Agent. If Seller and the Purchaser Representative are unable to agree upon a successor or shall have failed to appoint a successor prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days following the date of resignation or thirty (30) days following the date of removal, the then-acting Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or otherwise appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. Any successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Escrow Agent, the Purchaser Representative and Seller an instrument accepting such appointment and the transfer of the Escrow Property and agreeing to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 12. Compensation. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to receive the fees as set forth on Exhibit B for the services to be rendered hereunder, and to be paid or reimbursed for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances, including reasonable documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid in connection with carrying out its duties hereunder, such amounts to be paid one-half (1/2) equally by Purchaser and Seller.

Section 13. Indemnification. Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with its entering into this Agreement and carrying out its duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as between Purchaser and Seller, each of Purchaser and Seller shall be responsible for one-half (1/2) of such indemnification obligations, and each of Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to seek contribution from the other to the extent that it pays for more than one-half (1/2) of such indemnification obligations.

Section 14. Disputes. If a controversy arises between the parties hereto as to whether or not or to whom the Escrow Agent shall transfer all or any portion of the Escrow Property or as to any other matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine the same, shall not make any transfer of and shall retain the Escrow Property in dispute without liability to anyone until the rights of the parties to the dispute shall have finally been determined by mutual written agreement of the Purchaser Representative on behalf of Purchaser and Seller, or by a final non-appealable judgment or order of any state or federal court located in New York County, New York (or in any court in which appeal from such courts may be taken) but the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to assume that no such controversy has arisen unless it has received notice of such controversy or conflicting written notices from the parties to this Agreement. Any disputes arising out of, related to, or in connection with, this Agreement between Purchaser, the Purchaser Representative and/or Seller, including a dispute arising from a party’s failure or refusal to sign a joint written notice hereunder, shall be determined by arbitration conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.4 of the Share Exchange Agreement (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of any arbitration award pursuant to this Section 14 or Section 11.4 of the Share Exchange Agreement).
